They need to change their set back. That simple change of colour has made it look hideous.

What Ten should do is return the News to the old half hour bulletin like what we had when they first went to 5pm some eighteen years ago then some family friendly viewing between 5:30 and 7pm but No more Simpsons repeats they are getting old and stale but do retain neighbours or put on a us teen drama or comedy during non ratings periods at 6:30pn then this 7pm Project for a half hour or full hour.
4 to 5pm viewing should go back to childrens programming like what we had in the eighties and first half of the nineties till the beancounters decided to put on Bold and the Beautiful in the 4:30pm timeslot.They are literally handing the kids television market to Nickelodeon,Disney and soon ABC 3 Today.I wouldn’t be so disgusted if they were showing an OC type programme for the teens today coming home from school but the trashy soap has to go.

This Year Nine has Funniest Home Videos Up against the 7pm Project.

It is good for those of us who don’t watch SBS or ABC news bulletins at 7pm to have an alternative especially If we can’t be home at 5 or 5pm for the regular bulletins

I really enjoyed tonight’s show with Ray Martin… was good to see him in that environment. Also they didn’t seem to be trying too hard to be funny. Maybe that was cos of stories like world aids day and the plight of gorillas but it was still funny when it needed to be. Love having Charlie back too.

Good idea about a renamed 7PM Project permanently as an hour long show from 6.30 – a good alternative to the rubbish consumer affairs shows on 9 & 7. If Neighbours was on at 6, does Ten still get the drama quota points?

I was just thinking, a lot of the increase in ratings on Monday would have been because Home and Away isn’t on any more (and HIMYM is a repeat). Will be interesting to see how 7PM rates when H&A starts again next year.

It’s definitely a much improved product than when it first launched.

It didn’t do well because of the extra half an hour, it did well because it was not up against Home & Away and Two & A Half Men.

@ED
Its one night I don’t think anyone is breaking out the Moet! But it is an increased figure; quite a dramatic increase in figures and demos demonstrates the show has life.

That and it attracted viewers like myself who haven’t watched a full episode since the premiere. Will I stick around during ratings season; time will tell I’ll definately watch more of it over summer if the quality maintains and improves even more its something that when I do watch TV at 7pm I will watch.

Maybe it was just the hour? But it was a dramatic improvement time was dedicated the segments and was funny; the set and tune of the show has changed since I last watched and seemed to be a much more polished production. I am not a fan of 7pm its the first I’ve watched of it since the premiere so I was quite pleased with what I saw.

Sorry, but the pro 7PM Project spin from some bloggers beggars belief. The figures have lifted (against out of survey competition) to figures that are still about 100,000 south of expected for a 7 o’clock commercial share.

No denying it’s a clever idea for ten to cultivate an audience over summer and it may well return stronger in survey as a result, but scraping into third spot in it’s slot, by 11,000 is hardly worth breaking out the Moet for.

I found it to be a very entertaining hour.

Much congratulations for the new set 10.

Please stop trying to turn Carrie into a co-host. The show only needs one main host and Carrie is not strong enough to do it.

they should scrap Simpsons repeats at 6pm. Put Neighbours at 6pm and the 7pm project (renamed) from 6:30-7:30pm weeknights

i’ve only watched The 7pm Project a handful of times, but i watched it last night and it was better than usual. It flowed and the interviews / segments were longer.
